I should have included a picture of the lights. It's plainly obvious they're not police lights. They're tiny little LEDs.

Are these the little lights that are on the windshield fluid dispense (which are typically located on the hood of a car)?

If so, there should be any possible way that someone could mistake these little tiny lights for a police vehicle. I think that these things look stupid on a car, but they definitely don't look like police lights.

TRUE story.

California law basically says you must stop/pull over for a car with a red emergency light.

Fremont police were chasing a guy for speeding through Niles canyon a nice little TWISTY mtn road.

the police car's red light was out but he used his siren. so he radios for another car to help pursue. The other car comes up turns on his red lights and the car pulls over.

turns out the naughty man was a CHP officer... his excuse was "you didn't have a red light" They didn't give him a ticket in the end to avoid a CHP FPD tit for tat situation.

However overall, being a cop/chp no longer guarantees professional courtesy. I know a lot of cops who have gotten tickets. I always forget to ask if the judge tosses them later.
